Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Despite the predictions of Sports Illustrated and other national media outlets, Pete Carroll is bullish on this team. Yes, he's usually positive, but his comments last night were more about the team as a whole rather than individual players which is something he doesn't often do. So who's on this team? We run through our 53-man roster projections. Softy and Dick caught up with Pete Kwaitkowski and Salvon Ahmed on a Husky edition of Dick and Dave in the Locker Room. So how will Eason perform this season? Textimonials weigh in on that and more from the first two hours of the show.

The Kansas City Royals are reportedly being sold for $1 billion. Every time a deal like this comes up in any of the four major leagues, it just reminds us of how much the Thunder is worth, and how much more that franchise would be worth if it was still in Seattle. Legendary Husky voice Bob Rondeau weighs in on the Dawgs before the 2019 season begins. More disrespect for the Pac-12 as the Utah vs. BYU game was moved from ESPN to ESPN2 during a delay without even a mention. Pete Carroll is optimistic about this team. His comments, even for him, were very positive.

Finally we've made it to the final Seahawks preseason game of the year. Dick and Dave are at Jimmy's getting ready for the "big" event. The Dawgs take the field in two days, and so do the Oregon Ducks in a game that may shape the perception of the Pac-12 across the conference, but Softy maintains that there will be plenty of other opportunities for the conference to prove itself without Oregon winning. Lincoln Kennedy is in town with the Raiders broadcast crew. He talks about what he's seeing from Oakland this year, plus a little Dawg talk as well. Lee Sterling of Paramount Sports is back with picks for some of the biggest games in the first full weekend of college football.

It's no wonder there's talk about Carli Lloyd trying out for an NFL team. The league needs kickers so badly that they keep going back to guys well past their prime. Dick happened to look at the Patriots schedule and noticed they've got very little in the way of competition. They could go 16-0! Typical. Mike Holmgren weighs in on Andrew Luck's retirement, the change in coaching strategy in preseason games, and more. Textimonials react to the show.

Softy and a few other members of the media check in with Chris Petersen as they do every week during the season. Gregg Bell of The News Tribune discusses who will stay and who will go on the Seahawks roster once rosters are trimmed on Saturday. It's an all Dawg edition of Dick and Dave in the Locker Room with Chico McClatcher and Eli Molden.

Someone has to be a pretty big deal to pre-empt the show's opening monologue, and today, one of the only people with that much clout. UW Athletic Director Jen Cohen starts off the show talking about improvements to the fan experience at Husky Stadium, plus her strong stance on 9am games, and her thoughts on players transferring. Playing a 9am Pacific Time game may make sense in Ann Arbor, but an early game against Michigan at Husky Stadium. Jen Cohen is against it. Would you still go to a major game even if it were that early? Players across college football continue to enter the transfer portal. Softy and Dick debate the merits of transferring. When is it acceptable, if ever?

We've had this debate a lot recently. Now we give you a chance to weigh in. What are your thoughts on players transferring? We take your calls at 1-800-829-0950. Jake Haener isn't the only Pac-12 quarterback entering the transfer portal. Jack Sears has decided to look for a new home as well. Petros discusses this, the loss to Hawaii by Arizona, plus the Mowins dilemma, and a message for Rick Neuheisel that may never get delivered. Textimonials react to transfers, the Jen Cohen interview, and more at 49451.

Rick Neuheisel checks in with his thoughts on Jake Haener and the current transfer situation in college football, the importance of this weekend on the perception of the conference, plus his pick for the week (if the game goes forward). In case you missed it, UW Athletic Director Jen Cohen joined the show in the 3:00 hour. We've got the replay here. Dick is running out of time to convince Softy that a win for Oregon is the best thing for the Pac-12. To close the show, another round of You Don't Know Dick! for a $20 gift card to Taco Time.

Every Tuesday at 3pm, it's the 20th year of the Husky Honks with Hugh Millen, Dick Baird, and Softy on 950 KJR presented by frost-brewed Coors Light; mountain cold refreshment, made to chill. Also sponsored by Star Rentals, the preferred supplier of the West's best contractors.

Keon Broxton was kicked out of last night's M's game after throwing his batting glove and accidentally hitting the umpire. Major League Baseball has subsequently fined him and suspended him for an additional two games. Is Baseball overreacting to what was clearly an accident with no real injuries, or should the rule against ever hitting an umpire for any reason stand? Jon Wilner has released his preview of Washington football, and it's gotten some Dawg fans' feathers a bit ruffled. A loss to Cal in week 2? Textimonials react to the show at 49451.
